In an inn inside Boundless City, the area around it was now being controlled. Many experts guarded this area and the cultivation bases of those guards were shockingly high, all of them were at the world overlord realm. In addition, they all had different symbols on their clothes. It was clear that they belonged to different powers.
But at this moment, these world overlords only had the qualifications to stand guard outside.
And at a place extremely far away from the inn, many experts gathered around wanting to know what those people in the inn were talking about in exact detail. Because, they knew what statuses those people who were currently sitting inside the inn had. Just a few sentences from them could cause the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to tremble.
Today, the Qin Clan Leader Qin Zheng, was hosting a banquet in the inn for people from the peak powers. This wasn’t a huge secret, everyone in Boundless City knew about it.
As for the topic of discussion, everyone could guess that it naturally had something to do with the Heaven Vault.


At this moment, everyone seated within the inn was from a peak power. For ordinary deities, they could only stand. Those seated were people like the Qin Clan Leader Qin Zheng, Qiankun Sect Leader, Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, Che Clan Leader, Lei Clan Leader, Five Elements Sect Leader, the Poison God of God Destruction Palace, etc… Every one of them was a hegemon in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Most probably only the Qin Clan had enough prestige to invite all these people to gather together. Ordinary heavenly deities wouldn’t be able to do so.

Today, I invited everyone here for a purpose. I believe all of you should have already guessed what I want to say. The Heaven Vault is a secret realm in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that is the most suitable for cultivation. It can connect the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to the nine heavenly layers, allowing people to cultivate among the stars. I believe that since all of you showed up, you all should have interest in the Heaven Vault, right?
Qin Zheng spoke.

Qin Zheng, just go straight to the point.
The Qiankun Sect Leader calmly spoke. They weren’t here to listen to Qin Zheng speak nonsense. Why exactly did he gather all of them here?

Right.
Qin Zheng nodded.
For a secret realm like the Heaven Vault, if any power obtained it, they would probably find it hard to monopolize it. If any of us were the controller, we would surely share it with the rest to maintain a basic level of fairness in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Everyone naturally understands that with the Heaven Vault, it would mean that a particular power would be able to create more heavenly deities. The controller of the Heaven Vault would eventually control the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms eternally, unless some internal conflict occurred in that power.
Currently, the controller of the Heaven Vault is none other than the traitor of your Qin Clan. He hides himself within and refuses to come out. Also, he summoned the experts of the Luoshen Clan and Demon God Mountain and allowed them to enter. If they choose to hide in there for a thousand or ten thousand years, what can you do? What’s the point of discussing about control of the Heaven Vault now?
The Che Clan Leader calmly spoke. Everyone glanced at Qin Zheng. Since he gathered all of them here, he should have some plan up his sleeves.

Qin Wentian wants me to use the hostages of the Luoshen Clan to exchange for Qin Cang. But if he wishes to make the trade, the Heaven Vault naturally has to open up for him to exit.
Qin Zheng spoke. The eyes of everyone flashed, this was true indeed. News about this has long circulated, Qin Cang was captured alive precisely to be used in a trade for hostages.

Given the methods all of you have at your disposal, if you make your preparations, even if the Heaven Vault only opens for an instant of time, you would also be able to enter, right?
Qin Zheng spoke.
And as long as all of us enter together while sending people of our powers to surround the Heaven Vault from the outside, where can Qin Wentian flee to?
The eyes of everyone gleamed brightly. Qin Zheng’s words were truly a solution. If the Qin Clan did this alone, they might not succeed. After all, Qin Wentian’s current power was already very strong and he even had the five demon sovereigns and heavenly deities of the Luoshen Clan helping him. This plan could only succeed if all of them allied together and seized control of the Heaven Vault in a single move.
The peak experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were discussing about the plan here. As for Qin Wentian, he was currently isolated from the outside world and naturally had no idea about this.


At this moment, Qin Wentian who was cultivating, suddenly received a voice transmission from Qu Shen. He took out his messaging crystal and replied,
Grandpa Qu?


Wentian, not long ago Qin Zheng summoned the experts of the peak powers and they had a meeting in a certain inn. I guessed that they must be discussing plans about how to deal with you. You should be more careful.
Qu Shen reminded. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. Has the day finally come?
As expected, since the Heaven Vault was under his control, the peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would never accept this.

Many thanks Grandpa Qu.
Qin Wentian spoke with gratitude.
By the way, Grandpa Qu, do you and Nichang want to come in here to cultivate?

Actually, Qin Wentian had always wanted to invite them but it wasn’t convenient for him to do so. Qu Shen was an expert at the heavenly deity realm and had his own pride. As for Goddess Nichang, she was the number one beauty in the Heaven Region. He wanted them to enter the Heaven Vault because there was another layer of meaning behind this. He wanted them to avoid the marriage engagement with the Qin Clan. Although he doesn’t hope for Nichang to be with Qin Dangtian, he didn’t have the qualifications to interfere. Also, if he invited them and news of this circulated, their reputations would surely suffer damage. This was especially so considering the fact that there were rumors about him and Nichang. Hence, he kept hesitating.
Now that Qu Shen informed him about this, Qin Wentian naturally understood what Qu Shen was thinking about. If he really wanted to be in-laws with the Qin Clan, why would he inform him about this?
Hence, Qin Wentian took advantage of the situation and decided to still invite them.

Let me ask Nichang for her opinion.
Qu Shen laughed. After so many years, his pride has long been discarded. Right now, he only hoped that his granddaughter would be able to live a good life. Hence, as long as Nichang was agreeable, he wouldn’t care about his face at all. Hence, he didn’t feel anything about Qin Wentian’s invitation, he also didn’t feel that Qin Wentian had slighted him by inviting him to the Heaven Vault.
After he found his granddaughter, he stared gently at her and softly asked,
Nichang, Wentian wishes to invite us to cultivate in the Heaven Realm. What do you feel about this?

Goddess Nichang inclined her head, her beautiful eyes looking at her grandfather. She naturally understood the meaning behind this invitation.


She fell silent for a period of time, as she contemplated this. But finally, she shook her head.

Nichang, can you talk to grandpa about your feelings?
Qu Shen stared at his granddaughter. He knew that his granddaughter’s heart had wavered slightly back then when Qin Wentian brought her back. Now, Qin Wentian issued his invitation to them, he wanted to know what she felt about all of it.

What qualifications do I have to enter the Heaven Vault?
Goddess Nichang calmly replied. After that, she turned,
Grandpa, I will go and cultivate.

Qu Shen started, he stared at his granddaughter’s back before smiling bitterly. He didn’t know how to reply.
That’s true. He could ignore his pride and face, but what about his granddaughter? She had extraordinary talent and was also known as the number one beauty in the Heaven Region. She had her own pride. What qualifications does she have to enter the Heaven Vault?
Breaking the marriage engagement and seeking Qin Wentian’s protection? How would people of the world view her? Qin Wentian and Nichang had no official relationship, there were only rumors floating about them. If she agrees to enter the Heaven Vault to avoid the marriage under such a situation, her name would surely be dragged through the mud.
Naturally, maybe Goddess Nichang could ignore what others said about her. But then again, what qualifications does she have to enter the Heaven Vault? Qu Shen had no answer for that.
He took out his messaging crystal and replied Qin Wentian,
Wentian, Nichang said what qualifications does she have to enter the Heaven Vault.

After Qin Wentian heard this, he could only smile bitterly. This was also the reason why he was hesitant to invite them before.

Grandpa Qu, if you two encounter any troubles, you must remember to tell me about it.
Qin Wentian spoke. The gratitude the Qu Clan has shown him…he would surely remember it.



Right.
Qu Shen laughed.
…
At the boundless sea region, countless experts from the peak powers arrived. Qin Zheng led the experts of the Qin Clan along with the hostages they took from the Luoshen Clan here, namely Luoshen Han and the ten world overlords. Qin Dangtian came as well. His gaze was extremely cold as he stared at the sky.
Right now, his grudge with Qin Wentian wasn’t merely the hatred from the previous generations. The young man he looked upon in disdain at the sacred academy back then, had already grown powerful enough to talk terms with the Qin Clan.

I’ve already returned your messaging crystal to you. Now, you can contact Luoshen Chuan. Tell him to tell Qin Wentian that we are here for the exchange.
Qin Zheng coldly spoke to Luoshen Han. He had no way to send a message directly into the Heaven Vault, hence he could only use Luoshen Chuan as the point of contact.
Luoshen Han took out his messaging crystal and sent a message to Luoshen Chuan. In the Qin Clan, he had to endure countless humiliations. Now, he finally saw hope. It was just that he didn’t expect the new clan leader of the Luoshen Clan back then, Luoshen Mu, would betray him and the one who was going to save him now, was the young man the Luoshen Clan had given up on, Qin Wentian. When Qin Zhong hunted Qin Wentian, the Luoshen Clan sat on the fence and simply watched. This matter was truly a shameful one that haunted his thoughts.
Within the Heaven Vault, Luoshen Chuan and Qin Wentian soon received the news. They were currently flying towards the Heaven Vault’s entrance. Naturally, Qin Wentian who received Qu Shen’s warning, already knew that there was a sinister trap set by Qin Zheng waiting for him outside.
The area outside of the Heaven Vault’s entrance was completely locked down. With an intention of his will, as the controller of the vault, Qin Wentian was able to see the situation outside. In his vision, he could see many experts gathered, including some familiar faces. These were all experts from the peak powers. For example, he saw the Qiankun Sect Leader, Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, etc. All of these people were just too outstanding, he could recognize them with a single glance.
His divine sense swept out. After that, the scene outside was shown on a light screen, allowing Luoshen Chuan to see the situation.

Qin Zheng has gathered the peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms before bringing the hostages for exchange. Grandfather, they wish to make a move to seize the Heaven Vault.
Qin Wentian spoke.



It’s true that they brought Luoshen Han here, but they also came prepared. Wentian, what do you plan to do?
Luoshen Chuan asked. Unknowingly, the status of Qin Wentian in the hearts of everyone had already changed. Right now, even Luoshen Chuan would consult him on things. If this was in the past, such a thing would be impossible.

Grandfather, help me inform Grandpa Han to tell Qin Zheng that there can only be experts from the Qin Clan outside the Heaven Vault before we will agree to an exchange.
Qin Wentian spoke. Luoshen Chuan then sent a message to Luoshen Han who informed Qin Zheng. After learning of Qin Wentian’s words, Qin Zheng’s expression turned to ice as he regarded the sky above. This fellow was truly cautious. Could it be that he could see the scenes outside from within the Heaven Vault? Was the Heaven Vault truly a sealed dimension or not?!
